about high resistance

I used NI 4071 to measure a high resistance. The resistance is 78.6MΩ.
When I use 4071 directly to measure it(2-wire), the result is 78.58MΩ.
The measurement is ok. But wnen I connect the resistance to NI Switch 2575,
and measure it.The result become smaller, about 76.4MΩ。
It is strange, and how to deal with the problem?  Thanks

Something (wiring, the switch board, etc.) is introducing additional parallel resistance. Look at the specs on the switch board. If the leakage specs are excellent (> 1e9 ohms) then you can turn your attention to the wiring.
